Especial Correspondence of the Alexa. GAZETTE
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 4, 1887.
By the skin of its teeth the District OF
Columbia appropriation bill passed and re-
ceived the Presidents signature in time to
become law. Tho provision for keeping
open the channel of the Potomac during the
winter failed, for the reason that the Senate
conferees insisted upon retaining General
Mahones amendment for an appropriation
of $S5 900 for all ice boat, though they knew
that the House conferees would not agree
to allow more than SO 600, aud that sum
to be expended by contract, which would
have been amply sufficient, and which would
have satisfied the people most interested.
Among the Presidential nominations con-
firmed at the executive session of the SEN
ate this morning was that of Mr.. Glennan,
to be postmaster at Norfolk. Mr.. Glennan
was nominated soon after the commence
ment of the democratic administration, but
his nomination has been delayed up to this
time by the opposition of General Malone.
Among the bills that failed to become
laws were the river and harbor, the deli
cheney and the Notifications The first
passed several days ago and was killed by q
pocket veto. The second passed, but not
in time to be enrolled and receive the Pres
ident's 81 nature, if be had desired to sign
it, which is doubtful. The third never
passed at all, the conference committee
failing to agree.

ALEX ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 4.

AS THE President seems possessed oil .ne
idea that recognition" of negroes consists
in the fact OF giving them lucrative federal
offices. why does he restrict the operation OF
that idea to Northern negroes? There are
negroes in the South just as intelligent ana
capable as any who can be found III tne
North, and as the President declines to give
them Offices at home, in that particular ioi-
lowing the same policy he adopts towards
their race in the North, why doesn't ne
treat them rs he does the latter IN anotnef
respect, and give them offices in "asning'
ton? The Presidents long cherished ooJec'
ia to have the votes OF more than tour
Northern States at the next election; Oul
though Lis knowledge of negro character ID
admit, TO be limited, he can hardly be so
utterly ignorant of it as to suppose ne eau
win the support of the negroes IN the
Northern States by appointing democratic
negroes to office, and thereby achieve the
object referred to. A democratic negro is
natural object Of aversion to his race, Nortn
as well as South.
